Air patrol, we're getting reports of two tight little packages.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I think extreme religion pushed his brother and his brother pushed him. The younger kid clearly didn't have this as his intentions.

Clearly?

You are projecting, dude. There's nothing clear about the situation.

 

[Ninja Beagle]

Do you think people will now read my UFO threads after this

no dude

 

[KtSlime]

Don't worry, we'll keep him alive long enough to have him tell us everything we need and then we'll sentence him to the death penalty.

America.

Massachusetts doesn't have a death penalty.

Looks to be a refrigerator magnet rather than a dildo. But what do I know about dildos?

 

[Switch Back 9]

According to whom?

You guys are trying to make this more "interesting" than it actually will be.

Purely from an outside, "Only ever seen it on TV" point of view of course. I've never been there myself. Not saying you guys are all crazy vigilantes or anything.

Nah I think it'll be okay here. I feel people generally respect the law and the police here (as witnessed by everyone actually taking the "optional" lockdown very seriously in proper Boston). I hope so at least!

Fair enough, that's a really good point actually.

 

[RiccochetJ]

who's going to torture him? he'd be dead within an hour if they put him with other prisoners

I agree that he'll never be allowed to be around other prisoners. He's going to the Super Max.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Do you think people will now read my UFO threads after this

print them out and send them straight to wolf.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Massachusetts doesn't have a death penalty.

This will be a federal case.

 

[Dude—No ...]

Lmao what is a photojournalist doing in their house?

 

[Godslay]

Massachusetts doesn't have a death penalty.

It's likely going to be a Federal case if I understand correctly.

 

[vilmer_]

One of the first things I noticed from that first surveillance video from the bomb scene is that #2 was just following behind along with his brother. It looks obvious that the older brother had some kind of mission and knew exactly what he wanted to do.

 

[Coldsnap]

Those Dorner pics are awesome. Somehow I have become a Dorner apologist..

 

[darkazcura]

Guys should I go down the Common and celebrate the end of this? I still haven't slept since last night. Wow, it has been a while...

 

[Parakeetman]

the way it exploded, i'd assume dropping it in a trash can or some other container to contain the explosion and shrapnel would have been a good first step vs leaving it next to children and teenagers

Actually this might sound bad, but what saved a lot of lives is how tightly packed the crowds were and the unfortunate truth bit is that those closest to the explosive device(s) took most of the brunt of the force and shrapnel.

 

[Smash88]

Lmao what is a photojournalist doing in their house?

Takin' pics for his new "website".

 

[Phreaker]

Edited photo, the original was posted many pages back. The TV had CNN or something on it.

Oh, still the funniest thing I've seen all day

 

[smokeymicpot]

Lmao what is a photojournalist doing in their house?

He was making sure the house was safe. They got a tip in to protect them.

 

[Godslay]

Looks to be a refrigerator magnet rather than a dildo. But what do I know about dildos?

Probably both so it doesn't get lost! Just stick it on the fridge when you're done, and grab a beer.

Massachusetts doesn't have a death penalty.

He's going to be under federal jurisdiction most likely and they do.

You should not view Mark Wahlburg as representative of all of Boston.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I hope we dont see copycats because of this.

 

[PBY]

This will be a federal case.

True, there are still choice of law issues that Im not sure is settled precedent. Think it's unclear at this point, although take that w a grain of salt, this is based on just a few semesters of law school.

 

[Parch]

"I've started the timer on the bomb. Plant it or be blown up yourself."

The bombs didn't have timers. They were remotely detonated. Considering the distance between the blasts, I assume they both had a detonator.
Not only did this kid plant a bomb, he pushed the button.
I have no sympathy.

 

[Bob Ross]

Maybe if these projections are true he can shed some light on the Islamic extremist crisis going on in Chechnya and something like this can be prevented for the future.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Lmao what is a photojournalist doing in their house?

Documenting their asses of course.

 

[WanderingWind]

Just the tip?

 

[Vire]

Massachusetts doesn't have a death penalty.

Doesn't mean shit, this is a federal case.

 

[SystemBug]

Lmao what is a photojournalist doing in their house?

taking pictures of dat ass

 

[Godslay]

Just the tip?

Dude got the shaft if that's all he got!

 

[KtSlime]

This will be a federal case.

It's likely going to be a Federal case if I understand correctly.

I'm sure it will, but why should it?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Just the tip?

Just the tip then had to make sure it was a solid lead.

His best work, apparently!

 

[Divvy]

he did run over his own brother

I figure it was probably unintentional in the frenzy to get away. You don't follow your brother into this stuff and then run over him so easily.

I completely agree and I almost pity him in a way. From being described as a "walking angel" to now this. A life wasted.

I definitely pity him, not to say he didn't deserve it because he certainly does, but between all the lives he's killed and crippled, and his own life thrown away, it's a goddamn shame all around.

 

[jerry113]

It was great. Made me realize that -- as media quality improves and online storage capacity grows to pretty much infinity -- historians in the far future may be able aggregate all the video and sound data to run a near-perfect simulated recreation of just about any notable (future) historical event from just about any human-reachable angle so long as people record it. (And they will.)

Have you seen that 9/11 documentary that compiled all the video camera + security camera footage from that day innto a live movie? Imagine if twitter, facebook, reddit, wifi, and smartphone cameras existed during that year.

I think you're right -- you can make out the pink cap for the straw just barely.

That seems to be it. Detective GAF.

 

[Camp Lo]

You think he's going to be treated with compassion for the rest of his life? Have you seen our prison system?

Manson's still kicking.

 

[Switch Back 9]

You should not view Mark Wahlburg as representative of all of Boston.

Or this dude

 

[Vire]

I'm sure it will, but why should it?

Why should it what? Be a federal case?

Terrorist attacks are considered an act of war against a country.

 

[Philia]

I think you're right -- you can make out the pink cap for the straw just barely.

I'd assume he got it as a gag gift from his fellow marathon sport friends.

 

[Coldsnap]

Like i've said a few times. Brother was ran over after throwing a homemade smoke grenage at police then approaching them firing. It was probably too smokey to see anything and he ran him over.

 

[outunderthestars]

Lmao what is a photojournalist doing in their house?

Would you say no?

 

[Broder Salsa]

That seems to be it. Detective GAF.

Detective GAF might not have been able to find the suspects, but they nailed the pink dildo.

 

[Ether_Snake]

I would bet this will turn out to be an account of a slow spiral into darkness instead of an inspired motivation to attack the public.

It sounds like otherwise normal people, especially the brother, became enticed with some 'cause' in their roots for some reason. Be it isolation, unhappiness with their position in society, or whatever else.

I bet it started with him going to radical sites, then moving on to radical ideas, then 'why not try a bomb?' and found it easy, and thought it would be just as easy to make the leap to attacking innocent people without being spotted.

I'm convinced he got into contact with some people though. And the FBI having interviewed him before under the request of a foreign government would indicate this.

Doing what Gaf needs and deserves to be.
